>>Please explain how two nuclear bombs on two major cities filled with civilians saved Japanese lives.<< That's a calculation which was made at the time, based on projections based on inferences drawn from experience in other battles with the Japanese. The honest truth is that what really mattered to us was that using them would save American lives. I don't think anybody really understood the terrible devastation these bombs would cause. They've never been used again. Even thinking about them is terrifying.
